Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of building and scaling web applications in a production environment
- Proven experience leading high-priority technical projects from conception to delivery, including the ability to navigate trade-offs and align stakeholders
- A passion for fostering a high-performing engineering culture through code reviews, technical documentation, and mentoring peers
- Deep expertise in modern full-stack technologies—ideally TypeScript, React, and Node.js—along with a strong grasp of functional and object-oriented programming
- Proficiency in leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery velocity, automate boilerplate, and enhance code quality
- Demonstrated ability to design and implement complex, distributed systems that are scalable, maintainable, and secure
Desirable
- 4-6 nice-to-have qualifications that will make candidates stand out, they can be subjective. Remember, these are attributes that are not mandatory but would be beneficial to the individual’s success in the role. All qualifications must be assessable in an interview process at Rula.
- Hands-on experience developing or integrating LLM-based features or agentic workflows into production applications
- Strong familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipeline optimization
- Previous experience thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment where you’ve helped scale an engineering organization
- Advanced knowledge of database design and performance tuning for both relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational data stores
What the job involves
- As a Fullstack Senior Software Engineer at Rula, you'll spend your days designing and scaling robust systems within an autonomous, cross-functional team that values high ownership, rapid iteration, and technical excellence
- Joining the Partnerships org, whose mission is to drive patient starts through strategic collaborations with payers, providers, health systems, PCPs, employers, brokers, and other partners, you'll report to an Engineering Manager and build software that expands our addressable population, enables seamless access to care, and positions Rula as a differentiated strategic partner to the employers and EAPs we work with
- The Employer & EAP team owns the technology behind two of Rula's fastest-growing channels: direct-to-employer mental health benefits and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
- On the employer side, you'll build and scale the Employer Portal — the self-service product that lets HR and benefits leaders launch awareness campaigns, manage rollouts, and track utilization for the mental health benefit they've extended to their employees
- On the EAP side, you'll work across the patient and provider experience to support employer-funded, short-term therapy benefits — session eligibility, authorization, and billing — so members can access free, pre-authorized care without friction
- This is a unique opportunity to own a full-stack product surface end to end, from employer-facing tools to the patient and provider flows that deliver on the benefit, with a direct and measurable impact on how many people get connected to care
Our take
More than half of adults in the US will be diagnosed with a mental illness during their lifetime, and yet inaccessibility of treatment remains a huge problem. That’s what Rula aims to solve, with its platform that matches users to therapists that are covered by their insurance.
The company, formerly known as Path, is partnered with a number of major health insurers, including United Healthcare and Anthem, making it an accessible service for millions of Americans. It allows users to browse therapists almost instantly, with just a short questionnaire to fill in before their matches are shown.
Though the market for tech-enabled mental health provision is rather overstuffed, with giants like BetterHelp as well as newer competitors, Rula's partnerships with insurers set it apart. The business has been steadily growing, and significantly bolstered its executive team in 2023. It also rebranded to emphasise its vision to improve not only access to mental health care, but also clinical outcomes.
